[python-win32] Writing event to event log...

[fmml at cedval.org]

Hi András,

Thanks for directing me to the demo directory, found what I needed by
using ReportEvent modules. Even if I get "Event ID ( 1 ) in Source (
Application ) cannot be found" I can still post the info I needed.

Would be nice if there were some kind of generic message ID that I could
make use of, but for now this does the job.

Thanks a million,

Francois
